The Earthquake in Haiti


Ladies and Gentlemen, Brothers and Sisters:
I usually have a glib or witty message to post on this site, but today I just feel empty and sick from the news I am seeing from Haiti. I had plans to meet someone today and put it off to just take in the news and consider what I plan to do (give money; donate blood, clothing, etc). But there are other issues I want to address:
Pat Robertson is the most repulsive human being that I have ever heard (fortunately I have not met him). Just learned that he blames Haiti for their problems. I will not quote him here, but I will provide a link to his comments so that you can hear what he said (click here).
Michaelle Jean - Governor General of Canada and a woman of Haitian descent - is one of the most decent people I have ever heard (unfortunately I have not had the pleasure of meeting her). She did not hide her emotions on television when discussing what we can do to help the people still struggling to survive (click here).
Two responses from two very different people. Make your own judgment. And do your part!
